Modern, clean, friendly staffed hotel in a good location. A short walk to the main tourist area of Queenstown. A good breakfast selection started each day off perfectly. An average selection of tv stations when in your room. No international news channels, sport or music channels. Gym okay but limited with only one weight bench and few weights. Good overall.
